[so...why FLOURISH??]

The FLOURISH conference [for girls… “OBVI”] is a creative, thought-provoking look at the Word of God and what it says about our lives as Christ followers. Through an interactive, entertaining, yet REAL way, we desire to encourage girls to discover who they are in Christ, what their purpose is and finally…how they, uniquely, can live it out in a life that not only allows them to flourish, but encourages others to join them. We will do this by engaging them in three basic questions…Who am I? Where am I going? How am I going to get there?

Our main overarching scripture for the day is Matthew 16:13-28. The conference starts with the understanding that before we discover ‘who we are in Christ’ we must first acknowledge who Christ is. This is the foundation to seeing that in Christ we are a NEW creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) From there we will move on to our purpose being to simply glorify Him with our lives (1 Corinthians 10:23-33) Finally, the last hour and half we will take a look at how that impacts each of our lives, therefore discovering what our days tangibly look like. (Psalm 86)

identity . purpose . tangible ways to live… understanding this allows girls to make the right decisions on what to wear, how “far” is “too far” in a relationship, and how to treat their body. We are going back to the basics and challenging the girls to decide what they are living for.

The FLOURISH conference is a mixture of interactive teaching from God’s Word, personal stories, random yet meaningful games, visual aids, interviews from people who are actually living this out, engaging worship and intentional fellowship. We will provide food [lunch is from Chick-fil-a] and each girl will leave with a journal/2 month devotional to help keep them on track as they continue to learn these principles and integrate them into their lives. We desire for these girls to not only walk away with a rad experience, but also a tangible means of encouraging their relationship with God to be more intentionally active in the months to come. [Hence, the take home journal/devotional.]

The event is one day only – Saturday, March 27th from 9am-6pm at North Coast Presbyterian Church in Encinitas, California!

I once heard a quote that really challenged me to live life to it's fullest & to truly take advantage of each moment I am given in this life. I hope it can be as inspiring to you as it is to me.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."
- Mark Twain

Remember that God is the only one completely deserving of His glory and He chose us to be the greatest vessels of that glory. Don’t let worldly lies and thoughts hide His glory. Allow Christ to take away those veils, and find freedom and acceptance through Him!

"Once you learn to find your identity in Christ alone, it doesn't matter how successful you are, what you look like, or how you measure up to other people. The creator of the universe wants to have a relationship with you, so once you run after him whole-heartedly, you will truly be able to flourish." -words of wisdom from Suz

Chic-Fil-Awesome

Maybe it's the 'chic-fil-a' sauce. Maybe it's the cows. Maybe it's the fact that i've had more than one friend confused as to why Cows are the mascot for Chic-fil-a and I laugh when I think about it...maybe it's the "our pleasure" and "how may i serve you" chic-fil-a lingo. Or maybe, just, maybe it's the fact that Chic-fil-a believes (like we do) that there is a way to "make a difference in the world by being DIFFERENT." (Tullian Tchividjian)

Whatever the reason...we're excited about our new sponsor for the Flourish Conference in Encinitas, CA: Chick-fil-a from Oceanside, CA.
